Climb the quintessential "puertos", witness 4 critical mountain stages, enjoy VIP access to the Stage Finishes in Avila and Madrid, ride the course, and meet the pros and celebrities in the most accessible of all the Grand Tours.

Join us for the final week of the 2015 Vuelta a Espana! Hugely popular with avid cyclists, our King of the Mountains Challenge combines prime race viewing with a full schedule of challenging Spanish routes.

We'll be at the Summit Finishes on the Alto de Sotres and the Ermita de Alba to witness the race action on these grueling climbs. We'll also enjoy the stage finishes in Avila and Madrid from the luxury of the VIP tribune on the Finish Line.

The Rider's Trip:Our trip is not just about watching the Vuelta. We also have a full program of challenging daily rides that will give you the opportunity to ride many of the legendary climbs in Cantabria, Asturia and the Sierra de Guadarrama.

Climb the Angliru - arguably the toughest climb in the pro tour, Lagos de Covadonga - possibly the most spectacular climb in Europe, and the monster Bola del Mundo with it's ramps of +23%!

In true Thomson style we'll do a substantial bit of riding during the trip - 663km (412 miles) with 17,315m (56,808 ft) of elevation gain over the 9 days.
